Strengths
Although they are a boutique firm, the strength and cohesion of their team more than matches larger practices. We felt consistently well-supported by a knowledgeable and engaged group.
The team are hugely responsive and are consistently able to put themselves in the client's shoes, which results in strong practical and commercial advice.
We appreciate the team's knowledge, pragmatism and real passion for their roles. Response times are impressive and their ability to manage a substantial portfolio is just wonderful.
The team was clearly invested in our business - taking time to understand our model, our mission and the impact the case could have on our reputation.
